CodeBrix.SkiaSvg.MitLicenseForever 1.0.196.342

CodeBrix.SkiaSvg

An SVG loading and rendering library for .NET, built on SkiaSharp. CodeBrix.SkiaSvg is provided as a .NET 10 library and associated CodeBrix.SkiaSvg.MitLicenseForever NuGet package.

CodeBrix.SkiaSvg supports applications and assemblies that target Microsoft .NET version 10.0 and later. Microsoft .NET version 10.0 is a Long-Term Supported (LTS) version of .NET, and was released on Nov 11, 2025; and will be actively supported by Microsoft until Nov 14, 2028. Please update your C#/.NET code and projects to the latest LTS version of Microsoft .NET.

CodeBrix.SkiaSvg is a fork of the code of the open source Svg.Skia library (and several of its companion packages) - see below for licensing details.

SkiaSharp dependency

The CodeBrix.SkiaSvg.MitLicenseForever NuGet package depends on SkiaSharp 4.150.1 and HarfBuzzSharp 14.2.1.1 — a matched stable release pair. These ship native assets for all supported platforms, including ARM64, so no preview build or platform-specific workaround is required.

CodeBrix.SkiaSvg supports:

• SVG loading from files, streams, strings, and XmlReaders
• SVG rendering to SkiaSharp SKPicture and SKCanvas
• Android VectorDrawable loading and rendering
• Export to PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, SVG, PDF, and XPS
• Hit testing (point and rectangle) on SVG elements
• Retained scene graph for efficient rendering and mutation
• SVG animation support with time-based control
• Native composition layer decomposition for optimized animation
• Pointer/mouse interaction dispatching
• Custom typeface/font provider support
• Text shaping via HarfBuzz
• Wireframe debug rendering
• Many more...

Sample Code

Load and Render an SVG

using CodeBrix.SkiaSvg;

using var svg = SKSvg.CreateFromFile("image.svg");
canvas.DrawPicture(svg.Picture);

Save SVG as a PNG

using CodeBrix.SkiaSvg;
using SkiaSharp;

using var svg = SKSvg.CreateFromFile("image.svg");
svg.Save("output.png", SKColors.White, SKEncodedImageFormat.Png, 100, 1f, 1f);

Hit Test an SVG Element

using CodeBrix.SkiaSvg;
using SkiaSharp;

using var svg = SKSvg.CreateFromFile("interactive.svg");

var point = new SKPoint(100, 100);
var element = svg.HitTestTopmostElement(point);
if (element != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Hit: {element.ElementName} (ID: {element.ID})");
}

Load from SVG String

using CodeBrix.SkiaSvg;

var svgContent = "<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='100' height='100'>" +
                 "<circle cx='50' cy='50' r='40' fill='blue'/></svg>";

using var svg = SKSvg.CreateFromSvg(svgContent);
canvas.DrawPicture(svg.Picture);

Note that additional sample code and usage examples are available in the CodeBrix.SkiaSvg.Tests project.
